EA And Tor Books Announce Dragon Age: The Calling

Tor Books and EA have announced that they are releasing a book called Dragon Age: The Calling. the book is set in the Dragon Age: Origins world. Dragon Age: The Calling is the follow up to the previously released Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne. the book is set for an October 13th 2009 release.
Press Release
Guildford, UK – September 15, 2009 – Leading video game developer BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Tor Books, the largest publisher of science fiction in the world, today announced the publication of Dragon Age™: The Calling, a new novel set in the world of Dragon Age™: Origins, BioWare’s highly anticipated dark epic video game releasing this November. Veteran video game developer and Dragon Age: Origins lead writer, David Gaider, follows up his debut novel, Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne, with a thrilling new adventure set in the dark and epic fantasy universe of Dragon Age: Origins. Dragon Age: The Calling is scheduled to release on October 13, 2009, for $14.99.
In Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne, Maric set out on a mission of vengeance against the faithless lords who were responsible for his mother’s death. Now, having reclaimed the throne, King Maric finally allows the legendary Grey Wardens to return to Ferelden after two hundred years of exile. When they come, however, they bring dire news: one of their own has escaped into the Deep Roads and aligned himself with their ancient enemy, the monstrous darkspawn. The Grey Wardens need Maric’s help to find him. He reluctantly agrees to lead them into the passages he traveled through years before, chasing after a deadly secret that will threaten to destroy not only the Grey Wardens, but also the Kingdom above.
The team at BioWare has created a fantasy world on a scale unprecedented in the world of games —filled with compelling characters, gripping storylines, and hidden terrors. Dragon Age: The Calling is a rich, sweeping epic that will captivate avid fantasy readers and gamers just weeks before the launch of one of the most highly-anticipated fantasy RPGs ever.
In Dragon Age: Origins, players take on the role of a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have served as protectors throughout the centuries. Only they have the power to unite the shattered lands, defeat the Archdemon and drive back the darkspawn that threaten to destroy the world. Players will interact with many interesting characters who may join them in their quest, and they will choose whether these characters become friends, foes, or even a romantic interest. Featuring a deep and compelling story where every choice can have a dramatic impact on the game, Dragon Age: Origins is scheduled to release on November 3, 2009 in North America and November 6, 2009 in Europe for the PC and Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and later in November for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
Dragon Age: Origins is rated M by the ESRB. For more information about Dragon Age: Origins, visit www.dragonage.com. Pre-order the game now at www.eastore.ea.com.

What Have You Played This Week?
i haven't played much this week, working on the site has kept me pretty busy this week. But I was able to get through SOS which is a relief....wonder what swapgame is going to send me next.
Football Manager 09 – PC – Still going strong. I've been playing as San Marino, the club not the nation though they both do share the same name, location and stadium. It's interesting as I don't really try out the Italian leagues much.
SOS: the Final Escape – PS2 – Finished. A little embarrassed by how long it took me to get through it, compared to the actual game time it took, but like I said before, whilst the story is good...the gameplay sure makes it hard to play it...or at least make it welcoming. But it's done. It was a good end to the story, a few twists which was nice. Looking back on it, the lack of music probably was an attempt to make it authentic, the same with the time it takes to play the game as you mostly go from start to finish like you would've in real life. Still, they could've made the sounds of the environment much better. Is it worth playing...probably not. If you want a good story and can live with poor gameplay mechanics and such...then go for it. But for a casual player, I wouldn't recommend it.
Fat Princess – PS3 – just the odd couple of games played. Noticed how I seem to be coming out top a lot. Am I that good, or are the people i'm playing against that bad?
What have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or comment on my selection for this week
